[T]he two Canalers rushed into the uproar, and sought to drag their man out of it toward the forecastle. Others of the sailors joined with them in this attempt, and a twisted turmoil ensued; while standing out of harm's way, the valiant captain danced up and down with a whale-pike, calling upon his officers to manhandle that atrocious scoundrel, and smoke him along to the quarter-deck. [Melville, "The Town-Ho's Story," Harper's magazine, October 1851]
“這兩個船員衝入混亂之中,試圖把他們的人拖向船頭。其他一些水手加入到這個嘗試中,使形勢錯綜複雜。而勇敢的船長則在安全的地方上蹦蹦跳跳地舞着一隻鯨魚叉,呼籲他的軍官們將那個可恥的惡棍控制住,並將他帶到船尾。【梅爾維爾,“故事鎮靜號”,《哈珀雜誌》1851年10月】
